Sony Alpha 5000 Bloggers Gathering @ Carcosa Seri Negara

Sony Malaysia just launched their latest Sony Alpha 5000 digital camera, officially launched yesterday to be exact. Touted to be the world’s lightest interchangeable-lens digital camera with built in Wi-Fi and NFC, I was delighted to be invited for theSony Alpha 5000 Bloggers Gathering at Carcosa Seri Negara last week for a first hand look and feel of this new camera.

Introducing the all-new Sony Alpha 5000 digital camera

Sony Alpha 5000 Bloggers Gathering

Venue: Carcosa Seri Negara

Date: 15 February 2014

The world’s lightest interchangeable lens digital camera, with built in Wi-Fi and NFC punches far above its weight when it comes to beautiful pictures and creative control. Packing a large 20.1 effective megapixel Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ X™ processor, the Alpha 5000 produces exquisite images, despite its small size.

Welcome speech from Kikuo Okura San, Sony Malaysia Managing Director

Reaching the rather sweet venue, where just next door there was a garden wedding being held, we were warmly welcomed by Sony Malaysia's staff. It was a surprise to be presented with one Sony Alpha 5000 camera each to play and explore with throughout the 2 hour gathering. I was impressed with it's weight from the word go, and further impressed by its features and functions further on throughout the day.

A quick welcoming speech was given by the Managing Director of Sony Malaysia, Mr Kikuo Okura San followed by the Sony Alpha 5000 product introduction. Going through the slides were impressive enough, but what ensued was even better, especially when we were given a free hand to snap as many photos as we like at the venue to compete in a short photography contest. Winner will walk away with one free Sony Alpha 5000!

Here's the Sony Alpha 5000 box, having it for tea

Before continuing on, do note this post will only be a coverage on the event, while the more comprehensive Sony Alpha 5000 digital camera review will be up later. Yes, I'm currently still holding on to the camera, using it for my various food reviews, and events around town.

Do note that all photos on this post today is taken using the Sony Alpha 5000, which produced pretty nifty quality photos, DSLR quality if you asked me. Check out some of the notable features of the Sony Alpha 5000 below:

On top of the DSLR quality pictures that can be produced from the Sony Alpha 5000 camera, I must say I love the fact that the camera has NFC and Wi-fi capabilities giving me the convenience of snapping and sharing high quality photos to my various social media channels. Anyway do check out below on some of the photos I managed to capture using the camera at the event.

Overall it was a fun and eventful bloggers gathering. Everybody had a great time testing out the camera and enjoying its features. The Sony Alpha 5000 has been launched with single-lens pricing of RM1,999 and twin-lens pricing of RM2,799. It’s available in 3 colours, black, white and pink.
